55 Flash Fiction Friday: Keep OUT

It’s finally spring and they’ve all sprung. The buggers are everywhere. Don’t slip your hand in anywhere dark! I found this one on the return home from the park. It currently lives near the front porch. Had it been in the house I would have killed it. Anyone know what kind of spider this is?

Just stay out of my house you spider!

  1. ewww that is so freakin’ gross. did you really have to put a ginormous pic up like that? lol i’m not loving this 55. i hate arachnids lol

    • ciara – Yes, yes I had to. I was forced at gun point. :P I’m not fond of arachnids either.

      How do you feel about birds? You might like the Wordless Wednesday that I’ll be posting this week ;-)

  2. I don’t care what kind it is……kill the booger!!! I hate spiders and snakes.

  3. yuk, i hate spiders, i would not have been anywhere near that thing. you are my hero for being so close and still not killing it.

    • Akelamalu – I can’t stand spiders. I think it has to do with how fast such small creatures can move. They’re freaky to me. The spider I took a picture of wasn’t really *that* big. I zoomed up really close.

  4. Erica…I do believe that you have a Callobius Olympus.
    A nasty little arachnid, but it does indeed devour many many insects.
    Excellent 55 my dear…
    Thank You so much for playing this week.
    Have a Great Week-End….Galen

    • Otter – If it makes it into the house it’ll surly die a slow painful death at the paws of my cat. ;-) Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. :)
